I'm new to the industry and I must admit that this has been one frustrating process for me. I've been doing a lot of research and learning lots of new things, especially from this site. However, I'm not totally sure if I'm finding the correct answer to the question I have. Let me give you a small scenario and maybe you can help.
I went to an event called Sisterhood Showcare. A vendor there was making t-shirts on the spot. The custom designs were already pre-made. She had maybe 15 different designs. The customer picked the design they desired, the vendor positioned the design on a blank shirt or bag and closed the heat press for a few seconds, handed the item to the customer and collected an easy $10 - $20 bucks.
Needless to say, this was motivation for me to get into something that I've always wanted to do. The quality of the shirt and design was nice. You didn't feel any excess transfer paper. Anything that was not part of the design faded into the actual shirt or "disappeared". There was no cutting. I pulled her to the side to ask who did she get her transfers from and the type she used because I wanted to start a SMALL business similiar to hers. She denied me that information stating that she would be hurting her own business to give up that information. So I'm asking you....what company sells custom transfers as what I have described? After doing some research I've found information on plastisol and vinyl transfer but I'm not even sure if that's the correct answer. Any help????
